Have you tried booting it in safe mode (with networking) to see if you can browse then?

go into ie, and check the connection is set to never dial under tools, internet options

morning busenbust.

i tried both of those ideas last night, but nothing worked.

I clicked the 'diagnose and repair' option and got a message back, something like "cannot connect to primary dns server (with some numbers i cant recall)".

so in a desperate attempt to get it working i googled this phrase (using my ethernet connection) and found people are having similar problems with vista. The thing that people suggested that seemed to work was going to control panel - network connections - manage connections, then right clicking on the connection, going into properties and ammending some Internet protocol TCP code. I thought i would try this but when i went into 'manage connections' there are no connections there. I know i would have never have gone in there before and edited/deleted anything, so i'm pretty confused!

i really dont want to resort to paying for assistance, but it's looking like i may have to!

In Vista, there should be a Manage wireless networks in the control panel area you were looking at. Maybe that's where your connection details are. If that's empty, there is an option to add a wireless network that's in range.

cmd (right click, run as admin)

ipconfig /all
